While moving out of the White House, President Obama will also be packing his suitcase for a holiday. The outgoing executive told Comedy Central's Trevor Noah that after eight difficult years he's looking forward to "a decent vacation."

No doubt Obama deserves one — of course, on his own dime this time. While in office, he's explored the Roman Coliseum, walked the Great Wall of China and snorkeled in Maui. Now during retirement, picking a decent destination will be truly difficult.

Dubbed "the ultimate tourist," by The New York Times, Obama seldom let a trip overseas go to waste. Diplomatic business trips doubled as Obama family vacations, like that time the president stopped in balmy Buenos Aires after swinging through tropical Havana, Cuba.

OMG! Truly amazing...what gall!! Such a narcissist, lazy jerk.

Why not begin your vacation now and get Mr Trump sworn in immediately?

It is fitting that Obama be on the Comedy Central. His entire presidency has been a joke. A bad joke.

“of course, on his own dime this time”

I sincerely doubt that.

Donald Trump is pledging no long vacations and no presidential salary during his time in the White House.

“There’s just so much to be done,” Trump told CBS’ 60 Minutes in an interview broadcast Sunday. “So I don’t think we’ll be very big on vacations, no.”

Repeating the same lie as last week. $85 million is BS.

The the cost to taxpayers of just The Mooch and her large entourage’s vacation to Africa was $100 million.

Overall the 0bama Family´s vacations, separate, together and with the dog occasionally shipped on a separate jet have cost taxpayers closer to one Billion dollars.

You know it.

When Reagan was president, it was incessant stories about homelessness.

Not to mention the “warmongering” hysteria.

Obama achieved his aim of making all American tourists targets for kidnap & ransom outside the US, so finally the rest of the world is pure enough for him.
